Mandy’s face changed as she listened to Harvey’s explanation. She was no longer the sweet and innocent girl from before, but the head of the ninth branch of the Jean family.After Harvey’s explanation, she understood that she had acted too rashly about Lilian’s kidnapping.Had she allowed Harvey to plan everything out before coming, they would’ve had a better chance of rescuing Lilian.Thinking of this, she sighed.“I was being too rash, Harvey. I’m so sorry…”Harvey patted Mandy’s head and smiled warmly at her. “You’re my wife. There’s no need to say something like that.”“Besides, Lilian’s still my mother-in-law, no matter how badly she treats me.”“She’s trying her hardest to get me out of the family, but maybe she’ll let me stay after we save her!”Mandy chuckled bitterly after hearing Harvey’s playful words. She knew her mother all too well.Even if Harvey did manage to save Lilian, Lilian would probably be ungrateful for it.In fact, she might even blame Harvey for wh
Booooom!Instantly, the white Mercedes Benz G lost control like a released mad bull. It crashed right into the railing and the flowerbed on the side of the speedway, before flipping upside down.Several men with dark sunglasses barely managed to crawl out from the car before it overturned. They suffered heavy injuries and bleeding heads, no longer in any condition to fight.Boooom!Now that he had dealt with the white Mercedes Benz G, he stepped on the gas pedal and rammed right into the black one.However, the enemy’s impressive driving skills helped the car to dodge Harvey’s Toyota Alphard the nick of time.Harvey saw this, and immediately rolled down his window to throw a cup right at the car’s windshield.It broke into a thousand pieces, scattering shards of glass everywhere.Wails of pain could be heard inside the black Mercedes Benz G, before it crashed unceremoniously on the side of the road.The car quickly caught fire, ready to blow up at any moment.More men with su
Harvey calmly took a picture of the cars and sent it out, and then stepped on the gas pedal.“What are they trying to do, Harvey?”“If they’re trying to kill us, doesn’t that mean Mother’s in deep trouble?”Mandy was terribly anxious, fear written all over her face.“Don’t worry,” Harvey said calmly, assuring her.“As long as I’m not dead, she’ll be perfectly safe. She won’t lose even a single strand of hair.”“They’ll probably use her as the final trump card against me.”“If I die, she dies as well.”“That’s why you shouldn’t think too much. Let’s deal with the problem behind us first.”Harvey glanced at the rear view mirror after he spoke.He could see a strong, muscular blonde man emerging from the car’s sunroof, holding an RPG.The man was aiming his RPG right at Harvey’s car. Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.“What the hell?!”Harvey immediately stepped on the brakes, a horrible look on his face. He drifted the car sideways and dodged the shot.Boom!Th
The Arcburn villa district inside Las Vegas faced the sea, while mountains filled the background. The Victoria Harbor could be seen all the way from here. It was truly a district for the wealthy.Luxurious villas filled the area, with any single one costing over ten million dollars. Ordinary people had no right to show up here.It was also tightly guarded, equipped with the best security in all of Las Vegas.Harvey was inside a mountain range villa, looking at Victoria Harbor from the balcony absentmindedly, preoccupied. Mandy came out after her shower. She approached Harvey and covered him with a blanket.“It’ll get windy at night. Let’s head inside,” she whispered quietly.Harvey shook his head and put the blanket on Mandy instead.“I’m not that cold. You need to be careful, though. Try not to get a cold,” Harvey replied.“After all, you’re not coming here for only your mother, right?”Mandy’s eyes flickered slightly at his question.“That’s right. There’s another reason I
Harvey called a local cab and pointed the driver to his desired location. Then, he took out his phone. In just two days’ time, he had already figured out the entire process regarding Lilian’s kidnapping through his sources.Lilian had a few bodyguards accompanying her, both in public and in secret.Three days ago, they suddenly lost Lilian after she entered a public restroom in a mall. She mysteriously vanished after heading inside. When the bodyguards couldn’t find her, they informed Mandy of Lilian’s strange disappearance.Mandy took action instantly and sent a large group of people to search the entire mall. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.But after studying the footage of the restroom’s entrance, Harvey came to an educated guess.Not long after Lilian headed inside the restroom, a cleaner walked out, wheeling a cleaning cart.Harvey suspected that Lilian received a blow on the head and promptly passed out, and was then shoved inside the cart before she was taken away.
Harvey’s gaze was stern and severe.He bumped into Teresa Thompson at the very place where Lilian was suspected to be held hostage.Was this just a simple coincidence? Or was this planned all along?Countless thoughts ran through Harvey’s mind, but he still put on a surprised act.“Oh! It’s you!”“What a coincidence. Unfortunately, I have something to do though. Let’s talk another time.”When Teresa saw that Harvey was about to slip away, she stubbornly held his hand. “Wait! I still don’t know your name, my savior,” Teresa said quietly.“I’m Teresa.”Teresa’s face was so close, it was almost glued to Harvey’s. On her lips was a brilliant smile, and her eyes were sparkling. The fragrance unique to a young lady filled Harvey’s nostrils, making him slightly uncomfortable.Harvey let go of her subconsciously, taking an immediate step back.“It’s inappropriate for us to touch like this, Ms. Thompson. Also, please just call me Harvey. If you keep calling me your savior, peopl
After hanging up, Teresa looked at Harvey apologetically and said softly, “I’m afraid I can’t treat you to a drink today, Harvey. Something happened, and I have to deal with it right now.”From the phone call alone, Harvey could tell it was something urgent.“What happened? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help,” Harvey asked without realizing it.Teresa’s face changed slightly. She then brought Harvey into the presidential suite and poured him a cup of water.“It’s really nothing that serious,” Teresa said, sighing.“I established my own company that’s focused on import and export businesses.”“This time around, we imported some high quality Red Tea to Las Vegas.”“Because of historical reasons, people here adore Red Tea. That’s why the sales of Red Tea have been quite good.”“Then, we partnered up with a small business here that’s backed up by the Hamilton family.”“There weren’t any problems during the early stages of the partnership. In fact, they already paid thirty percent
The men in sunglasses glanced over, their faces fierce, the second they realized that people were here.However, Teresa spared them no attention. She completely ignored them, moving past them as she took Harvey into the warehouse.Inside the warehouse, several citizens of Country H could be seen bound tightly.A roguish man clad in a flowery shirt, with a cigar dangling in his hand, was pointing at the shelves behind him while shouting coarsely.“Look at this! What the hell are these supplies?!”“They’re all rotting tea leaves with a foul smell! How am I supposed to sell them to my customers?!”“Because we didn’t find out about this sooner, I’ve already sold a batch to one of my customers! They’re demanding us to pay for their losses right now!”“Your company is truly evil! How dare you try to fool us on our first partnership?!”“Do you have a death wish?!”“Get your boss here right now! If you can’t give me a proper explanation, I’ll chop off all your limbs and feed you to th
